Is there no pre order mentality for Nintendo games because no fear of stock shortage? Because no pre order incentives (for the most part)? What is it? |
The sales charts at the moment are predominently made up of games with legs. A pre-order chart like COMG is based on the first week sales of games. Plenty of these titles will peak high in the first few weeks and then disappear.
Nintendo also tend to put their own games up for pre-order quite late; while a company like Square-Enix will put a game up for pre-order that isn't even in development.
